The Jury Secured.

Sioux CITY, Ia, Sept. Sat 3 O'Clock
this afternoon the jury was completed in
the Haddock murder case. Forty-seven
jurors in all, were examined. The twelve
jurymen are of more promising character
than was expected, although there ere
several very Objectionable men
among them. 1t is the general
opinion that there will be disagreement.
Seven of the jurymen are farmers, there
being only four residents of Sioux City on
the iury-a druggist, music dealer, an
undertaken and gardener. The remain
ing juryman is a merchant in country
village. Frederick Munchrath, the de-
PENDANT, appeared to-day even more nervous
than yesterday.

Liabilities s17.ooo.ooo.

NFw YORK, Sept. CIV. N. Cromwell,
the assignee for Henry S. Ives & Co., has
made his report to hesuperior court. The
liabilities are placed at 81, 1865, 1876,
nominal assets, S25, 1854, 26s. 81, and the ac-
tual assets ST., 122, Ol6.76; secured credits
on loan account amounts to So, 4O2, 241. 81,
secured credits and bills payable are
81 ,673, S20.90; the liabilities on stock
loaned amount to 81. 01O, 900; the amount
to unsecured creditors is 50, $50, IE1.35.
The assignee says the property is composed
almost entirely of stocks, bonds and bills
receivable of various corporations, and that
the value of securities is largely depressed
because of the uncertainty as to where the
control of the companies will finally lodge.
This accounts for the difference in the
schedule between nominal and actual
values. It is claimed by those who have
studied Cromwell's figures, that the actual
assets, including only the firms equities in
the hypothecated securities, is only about
100000.

ten men was lost, and the captains family

there were number of ladies aboard of

An Interview with Fred Douglas.

An Interview With Fred Douglas.
Washington special: Fred Douglas
seems TO have come back from his
European trip more than ever convinced
that the color line is too tightly drawn
in this country. In q recent interview
he spoke somewhat bitterly about the
difference in popular feeling, toward
those having dark skins, in this country.
as compared with that of the people of
Europe toward that class, and pointed
to the case of Dumas, the famous novel;
list, whose color was not a bar in Europe
to the highest honors. His statement
led to discussion, as to the precise
amount of negro blood in the veins of
the elder Dumas. To this Douglas re-
piled by saying, cit was not to disparage

son, that | referred to his relation to the

of all others, are nevertheless more pro-
scriptive toward the colored people than
the least civilized of Europeans.

Contests the win.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. "a sensational
bill was filed in the superior court to-day
to break the will of the late eminent iurist,
Judge T. Lyle Dickey, Of the federal cir.
cult court. The value of the estate does
not exceed $50, 900. 1t Is in other circum.
stances Of the case, and in the prominence
Of all the parties, that the interest
lies. According to the will,
the widow, Mrs. Beula G. Dickey,
was bequeathed the entire estate.
She was Judge DiCkey's second wife The
complainants are Judge Dickey's children
all Of whom were by his first wife. They
are John j. Dickey, Of Omaha; Martha A.
Wallace, ofOttnwa, Ill. Charles H. Dickey,
of HOiku, Hawaiian islands, and Victoria
b. Wallace, of the same place The court
is asked to carry out the intention OF the
deceased, which is declared to be that the
widow receive one-third of the estate, rs
provided by law, and the residue TO 10 10
the children. II is said that the second mar
riage Ofthe venerable Judge, which occurred
in 1870, proved disastrous to him and his
children. His wife is described AZ being
of such a violent temper that he was Obliged
to desert her for several years. Afterward
she compelled him-hOw is not stated--to
make the will, ignoring his children. The
startling charge is made that when the
judge was on his death-bed, he begged the
presence of a lawyer, for the purpose Of
making new will. The boon was denied.
and it is charged that pending the death Of
the aged judge, his wife, for purposes of
her own, would allow no one to 500 him
but herself.
